Tropical Storm Henri's Impacts, on New England, Northeast.We're doing ok.thank you angel friends:)

Hi angel friends! :) BIG caring hugs from us all here in CT :) my family, Holly ,and i are all doing ok. We hope and pray, that everyone that's been impacted by the storm, is ok, and safe and wishing everyone safety, that's still being affected by the storm, including lots of rain, and flooding in new england, and the northeast. Tropical Storm Henri made official landfall, in Westerly, Rhode Island at 12:15pm today. Westerly is not far from us, that's where we go to Bess Eaton's donuts, to get treats. we were just there, this past may, and visited the seaside there. many special thanks from us all, for all of your loving care, prayers, and warm well wishes for us all <3 Our weather has thankfully calmed down here, after the storm came through here today. it got very gusty with the winds, and we've had lots of heavy rain here. We're all ok, our pets are doing well, and our backyard trees are all ok :) we were very worried about them. There's lots of power outages, all throughout the state, and surrounding states here in New England. We hope and pray, everyone's power is fully restored. We've keeping our WTNH channel, and weather channel on here.



Thank you all so very much, for comforting us, all throughout the day, and in recent days, with your heart-felt prayers <3 it's brought us much comfort :) by 2pm today, we saw some clearing in the winds, and the rain easing. The eye of the storm was around, and it actually got sunny, in some areas of New London, and we had a clearing here, that was neat, and calm :) it rained hard, for many hours here earlier. We've been keeping in touch with family, friends, throughout the day, here on DS, and through text :) chedcking in on friends, and updating friends. We heard about some downed trees in our city, and also around other towns, and cities. We're so thankful, the weather calmed. The storm is looping, and there will be more rain here in our area, tomorrow. Our plants, are gonna need lots of good care, in the days ahead. They got drenched, and are leaning/bending, but thankfully they're ok, and will need some good sunshine, to pep them back up, and get them spirit soaring in the garden again :)



We're all hanging out, and are looking forward to some sunny days, hopefully it'll be a very much ,calm weather week for all of us :) We've got a heat-wave in our forecast, for this upcoming week, beginning around tuesday. we're gonna tend our plants alot, to get them pepped up, and back in good shape :) it's been a big day, with the storm. it's felt like a monday, rather than a sunday, with our local wtnh news crew on, as the day's been going on. We're all doing ok, and are thankful to be ok, and that our home and property is alright. i peeked outside earlier, at our trees, backyard, things look ok. around 2:40pm, Holly and i went outside in our front yard, and we shook some water/rain off the plants, and helped uplift some of our plants that needed it, including some of our popcorn plants. Overall, our plants held up very well.



We're settling into the evening, we're thinking of everyone, and hoping each day forward, brings more and more healing, from the storm. We're keeping strong, and in good spirits :) it'll take a couple days or a few, to get our balance back. We're very surprised, our power remained on here today. i'm very thankful, i've been able to update everyone, here on DS as the day has been going on. we all prepared, for power outages, and just incase, Holly and i were gonna use our portable dvd player, to watch TWD dvds, but with our power on, we're gonna watch the new episode of TWD, which is on AMC channel, the new season, season 11 begins tonight :) We'll definitely keep everyone updated, on how we're all doing, this upcoming week, getting our garden and yard back in good shape, some writing time, plus all of our weekly festivities, daily routines, with sweet treatstuesday, super wednesday mailing envelopes here from home, plus lots more, as the week goes on, leading us into another super fun baking friday adventure :)i look forward to sharing our weekly traditions, adventures, lots of pictures with everyone ,in my daily journals :)



Wishing everyone continued safety, from the storm. There's lots of rain, and continued winds impacting many states, with potential flooding. our thoughts, prayers, and hearts are with everyone. Wishing everyone lots of safety, and comfort. We're with you all, our dear angel friends <3 Big group caring, comforting friendship hugs. PRAYERS REQUEST. please continue to keep everyone being impacted by the storm, and that's been impacted, in your thoughts, and prayers. Thank you angel friends, so very much! <3 we love you all bunches and bunches! :)

Hi Chr6 and Holly. So glad the storm wasn't as bad as you were thinking it might be. It is great that you all and your pets are safe and the trees are all right as well. I remember when we lost our willow tree and how bad we felt. You Holly and Tiger have a great evening.

Hi Chris, I’m so happy to hear that your power remained on all day and that there was no damage to your property or any of your precious trees. I will keep those that were affected by the storm in my prayers.

I’m glad that you were able to watch The Walking Dead last night and hope you really enjoyed it, I’ll either watch it sometime today or tomorrow, I have it on my DVR so I can watch it whenever I have the time.

Take care and have a good day today and a good week ahead. Thanks for sharing the pics and the updates with us and keeping us informed. I’m just so happy that everyone is OK there
Lots of hugs for all, Jeannie
